Metal Mouth Message Board

I had a big sore from the top whire when it was just installed. It lasted for the whole 2 or even 3 weeks. That area on the inner cheek was constantly inflammed and irritated. I tried to ignore it, but eventually started using their wax and it releived the sore within a few days. I am not using the wax now, but it never came back. I still have a little bit of tissue thickening in that area, but it does not bother me at all.

This is good to know. My most recent adjustment put a wire digging into the lower left of my jaw/gum, and I was trying to tough it out, but it sounds like I should call my ortho. I'll also get that pain reliever. I've had a splitting headache all week and now I think it's due to this pain.

hope you feel better soon
